15 Things To Know When Preparing To Queue For A Concert

Waiting in line for a concert can be one of the best and worst things. The whole experience is up to how you prepare, who you're with and the things you should know beforehand.

1. Check the weather.

You never know when you'll be sitting outside for your favorite band and it starts to pour on you. Plan accordingly. Dress for the weather; bring an umbrella (if sunny or raining); bring an extra jacket, scarf and an extra pair of socks. (Maybe even an outfit, you never know what might happen.)

I've waited in line in -10-degree weather and 95-degree weather. It is a different battle every time, and you have to be able to survive both.

2. Get ready for the same question.

If you're a regular concert goer like myself, and you like to get there early—be prepared to be asked, "How long have you been waiting?" or "Why did you come this early?" or "Why are you waiting in this (heat/snow)?"

Waiting in line for my favorite band, Catfish and the Bottlemen, for over 10 hours slightly drove me up a wall, but it also made me appreciate the experience much more.

Less-than-perfect conditions stay with you the whole day, and you can begin to contemplate why you came. But if you remember the concert at the end of the night, it makes it all worth it.

3. Check who you're with.

The friends you bring, or if you go by yourself, the people you're in line with can make or break the time you are waiting for the band. Start the conversation with the people around you early. That way, you can start getting to know these people on a regular basis.

You're going to be stuck with these people for a decent amount of time, so make sure you're ready to talk about anything and everything. It's never any fun when the people next to you have no interest in talking to you.

The waiting goes by much faster when there is a decent conversation going on. At least then you have someone to complain too, and talk about what's going on around you all. You might go crazy if you don't talk to someone else.

4. If you can help it, don't bring a bag.

Venues check bags, and it can hold back on where you're going to stand (if it's general admission). Walking in without anything they have to check, except for your body, then you'll be quicker than the rest with purses, bags or anything that might slow them down.

5. Dress comfortably and smart.

If it's hot, wear shorts so you're not increasing your body temperature too much with clothing.

If it's cold, wear layers that are comfortable that keep you warm.

I've waited for over 10 hours in -5-degree weather, and over 100-degree weather. You pick your battles, but each is different and deserve some attention.

6. Take more than what you need — you can always leave it in the car.

If it's a venue that allows you to go back and forth to your car—do it. You always have a place where you can turn the heat on and get warm, or turn the AC on and cool down.

It can make or break the way you feel at the end of the day, and it can protect you from getting sick from the weather conditions.

The last thing you want is to feel horrible because it was too hot or too cold. You may not control the weather, but you can plan for it, and that makes all the difference.

7. Bring portable phone chargers, playing cards, a book or anything that will save you later on.

Bring a portable phone charger because it's almost guaranteed your phone will die at one point. It's hard to resist the temptation from checking your phone from boredom, so make sure you plan for it.

Bring anything that will keep you occupied because then you can entertain yourself while you wait. It can also bring together the surrounding people, so that way you can bond on over a game, and make time go by faster.

8. Know the area and the businesses in it.

The businesses around the venue can lend a helping hand—if you know they're there. Many businesses are welcoming with their bathrooms and water if you just ask.

Some will require you to buy, and others will just let you use their bathroom. They can make or break your hydration levels if you're not careful.

They can also save you a trip from leaving and driving to a place with a bathroom you can use. Know the area and that will be your best friend.

You have to protect yourself from the conditions, give yourself a slight break from being outside, and give you something to do.

9. Bring food or you can order it in line.

Bring snacks that won't easily melt or freeze, and you have yourself your meal for the day.

You will be prepared when you start to get hungry, and it won't be a big deal when you want to snack on something.

You can even order delivery to the line. Many people have ordered a sandwich service, pizza, and Chinese food to the line you're in.

It's up to what you're feeling that day, and how much you want to pay for delivery.

10. Sharing is caring.

You'd be surprised how much you share with the people around you. They may have thought of something that you didn't.

They may have extra water bottles and you may have brought extra granola bars.

The possibilities are endless, but be ready to help a fellow concertgoer out. You're all there for the same reason, might as well enjoy the pre-planning things you all brought.

11. Bring extra money and try not to use your credit/debit card.

Cards may be easier to keep track of, but you might not have a way to check your balance on the card.

Cards with chips in them will set off a metal detector, so take them out of your pocket before going through security.

Having cash will make the whole process easier, and that way you can tip accordingly.

Most merchandise tables are cash only, and it makes it easier for the "merch" people working to give you your change and get back to the rest of the line.

12. Always. Always. Always tip.

Everyone who is working inside the venue is working their butts off to please the line of people outside the venue. That is where most of their revenue is for the day, so they are there to help you out.

Even if it's $1, it shows your appreciation and you notice they are helping everyone out.

A local coffee shop was open at my last concert, and they were giving away free waters. They might have been losing money from cups, so I tipped them to make sure they were losing too much.

People are there to help you out, you just have to know who they are and what they're doing for you.

13. People will try to scam you.

If you're anywhere near the front of the line, people will try to come and talk to you.

I can't remember the amount of people who have tried to come sit by me, be my "new pal" just to get in when I get in. You have to tell them straight up, "Line is moving, it's time you go back to your spot."

It's not fair for someone who gets there right before doors open to try and get in front, and then to stand by someone who has been waiting for over 10 hours.

I understand there can be outstanding things that happen, but people earn their spot in the pit.

14. Stay with friends, because it can get dangerous after-hours.

You never know who is out trying to get money, attention, or anything else in the surrounding area. Stay safe, because there are some really sketchy people out there.

If you're going to try and meet the artist/band, try to stay after close to their tour bus.

Sometimes a worker from the venue will tell you that you can't be there, or tell you to leave because they're not coming out. Odds are, they'll be out sooner than yo think so you just have to wait it out.

15. Most of all, have fun. It's what you came for, and you owe it to yourself after the long day.

After all the waiting, planning, and hanging out, it's time to finally enjoy the experience. It's what you came for, and after all, they are the reason you came.

It's Always A Good Time To Better Yourself

We all like to play the New Year's game of creating resolutions most of us will most definitely not keep. We hear everyone going on and on about "new year, new me" and pretend like we want to engage as well. I failed to realize what it is about the new year that makes people want to change themselves. It's as if the digit changing at the end of the year is important to us changing ourselves.

You can make a change at any time of the year, so why now?

With this upcoming year, I feel like I have answered the qualms of the above statements. I have realized it is less about a new you, but more about a better you. The new year makes us feel fresh and gives us new energy. The digit changing, it gives us the motivation to make the changes to improve ourselves. While the last year has been so generous, I want to make the next year even better.

This is not a how-to guide on how to keep your resolutions, but more on how to make them. We tend to set unrealistic goals based off of ideas perpetuated by society rather than what truly makes us happy. We think by losing weight we will feel better about ourselves. By doing this we bypass the real goal altogether, feeling good about ourselves. This can apply in other circumstances. as well. If you're a writer, your goal could be to write more instead of writing better or writing something you care about. By deciding what truly matters to us, we can set goals that guide us to success instead of deterring it.

Even a simple task every day, like making the bed, can set the tone for the day as productive and neat.

Everyone is different and having the same three goals as every other person will not help you. Think about who you are and what you need to motivate you. Going to the gym may make you hate getting out of bed in the morning, but a small workout at home can be just as effective and more interesting for you.

Resolutions are what you make them out to be. You can choose to make them something meaningful.
